Cat is survived by her loving father Grant Friesen and stepmom Lynn of Kamloops, sister Lisa (Natica) Soychuk of Kamloops, stepsister Nicole Rinaldi of Grande Prairie, and stepbrother Tony (Kimberly) of Kamloops; her grandparents Frank & Joyce Briggs of St. Catherines ON, Doreen & Glen Ritter of Comox BC, and Dorothy McLachlan of Kamloops; great grandmother Marie Briggs of Fredricton, New Brunswick; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She was predeceased by her mother Leslie, grandparents Bert & Anda Warner, aunt Darlene Friesen, grandparents Ed Friesen and Gerry & Henry Fergusson. Born in Kamloops on January 31, 1986, at only 3lbs 11oz, Catriona had the heart of a lion and the size of a kitten, hence her nickname Kitty or Cat. Kitty started school at Parkcrest Elementary and graduated from Brock Sr Secondary in 2004. Her caring nature and the ability to be silly, not at all afraid to laugh at herself,endeared her to her large circle of friends. Catriona was our fashion diva...fashion first, pink preferred [weather conditions a distant 2nd]. Caring, affectionate and compassionate, Catriona has left a very large footprint on the lives of all she touched. Catriona struggled with the loss of her mom Leslie in 2004. She was lucky enough to have a strong support system at home and with her extended family the Ault's [family #2]. Summers were enjoyed at the Shuswap. Suntanning, pink bikinis, pink shades and boating with Dad. When Dad [Grant] built his Mustang, Kitty was thrilled to do the 1/4 mile strip with "Daddy-O". She loved the adrenalin rush. She never could have too much fun or excitement. In 2005, Cat trained as a medic and headed north to Fort St. John with great expectations. Baron Oilfields took her on as a shipper/receiver, but not as a medic, as she would have been a distraction to the boys in the field. Far too pretty!! Our "Barbie Doll". It was hard to keep up with Cat. She talked the way she lived her life, at a 100 miles an hour. She was the text msg queen and deciphering her emails was always fun. Cat made many friends up north, but had decided to head home to warmer weather, with her trusty side kick Norman [her little puppy] at the end of this summer. Affectionate by nature Kitty missed the closeness of her family. Catriona was thrilled to be enroute to her sister's wedding when we lost her. She attended the wedding in spirit--we all felt her presence. Her friend Jamie, noted with the popping of every balloon, that our Kitty was making an entrance in typical Kitty style. We will miss her flamboyant style, her laughter, her hugs and her beautiful smile. We love you Kitty....we will hold you again. Love Daddy-O, Lynn and Lisa A Celebration of Catriona's life will be held at 4:00 pm in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel on Saturday July 19, 2008 with Reverend Connie Phelps officiating. Donations in Cat’s memory to the Kamloops S.P.C.A. or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family in lieu of flowers.

Kamloops Funeral Home RONALD “RON” C. COOPER October 28, 1912 – October 27, 2008 "God Love Ya" On October 27th, as a Golden Eagle symbolically circled above, Ron Cooper passed away at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Kamloops BC on the eve of his 96th birthday. His wife Elaine, daughter Lynne of Kelowna, sons Mel of Victoria, Ron of Kamloops, Gary of Kamloops, and Wayne of West Vancouver, were there for him as he had been there for them all his life. Ron was the respected and admired founder of what is now known as Cooper’s Foods in the BC Interior. Born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, he struck out on his own at the age of 17, starting his first small confectionary store with less than $70 in his pockets. A popular St. Bon’s athlete, he was once described as “the strongest man of his size I’ve ever met.” Working with his wife, the late Mildred (Brophy) at his side, he grew his business to include the popular Signal Hill Grocery. Answering the call to “go west,” Ron, Mildred and family moved to Vancouver in 1945. Ron’s Magee Grocery was his entry into the business world in BC. Moving to the BC Interior (Revelstoke) with sons Ron, Gary and Wayne, the Cooper’s spread their wings, adding supermarkets in Kelowna, Kamloops, Vernon and beyond. Honesty, integrity and hard work were his by-words. In 2001, Ron and wife Elaine settled down in peaceful Logan Lake, where he was seen every day walking his dogs and breathing in the fresh air. The family wishes to thank Elaine for her love and care of their father. She was always there for him. Ron will be missed by stepsons Jeff and Randy Craddock, both of Vancouver, and by many friends. Ron also leaves 17 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, six great great grandchildren and six step grandchildren. His always positive approach to life will be their inspiration. Ron’s parting words to people, friends and family were always, “God Love Ya.” We too say to Dad “Poppo” as our final wish… “God Love Ya.” Special thanks from the family to the warm and friendly staff at Kamloops Hospice, Dr. Mavis Hollman, and the staff at Royal Inland Hospital. The Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, November 3, 2008 at the St. John Vianney Parish, 2826 Bank Road, Westsyde, Kamloops. Monsignor Jerry Desmond, Celebrant. A reception and celebration of Ron’s life will follow in the church hall.
